<quoted text>Old enough to know better and too young to care - is that a prosecution or a defense? Nevermind.I was corresponding with do whut. Be advised that if I find someone to be too whacked to follow the conversation rationally, I might not respond. Don't take it personally.

In other words you have no answer for your statement. Nice Dodge!

I don't take it personal, I take it as I see it...you say sh$t you can't back up with proof! If you can prove it then by all means , DO SO .

Seems to me ,he is strongly implying that,by intentionally refusing to accept any supernatural evidence,that Science ,by it's nature,can not allow nor will it consider any evidence that is not materialistic in nature.,regardless of how compelling that evidence might be.On the other hand,it will permit unsubstantiated evidence,in spite of the patent absurdity of some of it's constructs and in spite of it's many failures.

Well, this particular scientist is not speaking for all of science. But keep in mind he IS an evolutionary biologist. He not only accepts that evolution is a fact, but that the theory explaining it is valid. He is *not* on your side here.

That being said, he does hold a view that is in opposition to many other scientists. For example, he and Richard Dawkins disagree sharply on some key issues about evolution.

But they are both evolutionary biologists. Scientists *can* disagree.

There is no such thing as evidence of the supernatural. The supernatural is by definition not evidence-based. It is fantasy, myth, and superstition. If there was actual evidence for it we would call it natural, not supernatural. If you have evidence, show it. You could become famous overnight.

I mean...you believe in magic. You want to criticize actual science and yet you offer nothing in the way of explaining your magical creation myth.

<quoted text>I'm not saying that contraceptives should not be used or taught to youth. I'm saying it isn't the responsibility of a church to be the teacher.Abstinence is absolutely the best method of contraception. And if you took abortion off the menu of answers for irresponsible teen behavior, more would practice it. I doubt it would reduce sexual activity, but it would certainly raise that awareness that they will be forced to deal with the consequences (something not taught to youth as much as it should be).But you keep banking on contraceptives as if it is the silver bullet. Did you see the statistic on the percentage of abortions that occurred that claim they USED contraceptives and they didn't work?

Wrong.

Humans have sex drive. Teenagers have TONS of sex drive. They are going to f*ck.

<quoted text>Which is way different than when you say God exists...Again, the level of irony is over 9000. I've almost decided that you are a troll trying to make all Christians look bad by association.

Show me ONE POST where I have said God Exists, Also show me where I have stated I'm a Christian.

Funny how the Crockhead can't answer my simple question. So Umm how about you answer it since you are putting your 2 cents worth on this post.

<quoted text>That's the f'ing TWILIGHT ZONE.Blame is a reaction, not a solution. Do you blame someone for kiting a check to feed their children or pay rent? Society says yes. Do you prosecute "too big to fail" bankers? Society says no.

Wow I butchered that in my haste. I meant to say "can you blame". And I meant it sarcastic. Man LOL. I messed that all over. I need a mulligan.

<quoted text>I understand that. Unlike DW, many moralists object to the teaching of preventative methods and protections.Orlando public schools built a shiny new high rise for their offices. The school board paid $50,000 for an 'abstinence only' course out of Texas and paid the company's spokesperson's way to make a presentation to the board. The course stressed 2 things - the "Chastity Pledge" for the girls and graphic presentations of STDs and abortions. It did not mention any form of birth control. The VERY FIRST TIME the pristine auditorium was used in this "Educational Leadership Center", her speech revolved around the phrase "Education is not the answer." Does that kind of program work? What is the percentage of married couples who have had premarital sex?

<quoted text>Just because I am rather bored and since I agreed with you twice may as well hit this with you.The ethical implications of abortion work in so many directions, the definition of life is so inaccurate as well, and there are so many factors to determine if an abortion is necessary or not, to simply outlaw it would be taking any and all blame for yourself. But to leave it to the woman and her medical physician to decide makes them responsible for making the correct choice, and there are cases in which an abortion will save the life of the woman. Without medical science most fetuses never live, they are either stillborn or aborted naturally, often when the woman's body is at risk to carry to term it will abort the fetus as well. Medical science has made it so finding these cases is easy, but not until the natural abortion has been suppressed, thus placing the woman in danger. If your god was real, it's basically defying your god's own will at that point, if you want to put it all existential.So the question is this, what gives you any more of a right to deny nature (or your god's will) than the woman?

This is a good post which I find interesting, thank you for sharing your views/opinions

Matthew 10:33, you scumbag hypocrite. You'd better be repenting and acknowledging that I am correct.

<quoted text>You know I don't know what that verse is; why not post it here...I DIDN'T WRITE THE BIBLE... Again SHOW me where I stated I am a Christian! I'm still waiting!

You Lazy A$$ Piece of Sh$t...if you don't want to look up all my post and PROVE me wrong, Then how about YOU admit you made a horrible mistake, offer your apologies, and go about your merry way. What a waste of breath and space you are!!

<quoted text>You know I don't know what that verse is; why not post it here...I DIDN'T WRITE THE BIBLE... Again SHOW me where I stated I am a Christian! I'm still waiting!

I know you are also LEGIONS (and others), I know you've told people that you believe in God, I know you know what Bible verse I'm listing, etc. etc.. The only things I don't know is why you're so stupid that you'd think I wouldn't know these things or why you would deny your God in front of others.

These are not difficult requests: Chrome can you give me an answer to this question[ explain in your opinion how the religious compliment of society blames young adults for being a jumbled mess of hormones ] being as you stated this as fact. and 2nd... Umm ... Post where I WROTE that I am a Christian or that God exists. If you can't supply me with an answer then just say so, it's not that difficult.
